Whether for a matronly 11-km reach Acre need to cut down 50 trees and ancient Aiklifts North?
So at least think the mayor of Acre gave the green light to the Ministry of Transport, through the paths of Israel, to start infrastructure work in the city matron project.
A new matron City Acre, including 11 km of a designated travel route that will connect to the network of existing lines in the Haifa and Krayot area. However, for the line work, Netivei Israel wants to cut down dozens of old eucalyptus trees, which are one of the symbols of the entire area. The trees were planted over a hundred years ago and were used to hide the road and after the establishment of the state, the nearby Ben Ami military camp.
Work on the route began earlier this week, with no prior notice to Asher headquarters residents, and while the many objections submitted to the National Forest Officer for approval of the felling of trees are pending before a discussion and decision.
The fight against deforestation has been led for many months by the head of the Mata Regional Council, Moshe Davidovich, who demands a change in the matronly route on Road 8510 between Bustan Hagalil and Acre in order to save the historic boulevard and find an alternative route that will develop the necessary public transport infrastructure. The high values.
The JNF, the Nature and Parks Authority, the Society for the Protection of Nature and the Council for the Preservation of Antiquities, backed by the residents of the area, also joined the fight.

Moshe Davidovich, head of the Mate Asher Regional Council
, "I live in the Galilee Orchard and visit the place every morning and enjoy this delightful sight. If anyone has not understood so far, we in the area love nature.
"To my great regret, Netivei Israel is acting like a clown who overthrows every good part, literally, I'm glad I can serve as an advocate and patron, for these beloved trees that have no place here to shout 'save.' A worthy alternative to the construction of a dedicated transportation route to Matronit without cutting the same old boulevard, and while we sit on Netivei Israel and agree on examining the issue, the company gave the green light to start work, without informing the residents of Mate Asher and the residents living next door. Partners of the Jewish National Fund, the Nature and Parks Authority, the Society for the Protection of Nature, the Council for the Preservation of Heritage Sites in Israel and other local and national green organizations. "

the coordinator of the Northern District Nature Protection Society Liron Shapira
, He told Walla!
Tourism that trees have a heritage value and do not necessarily have to be cut down as a result of the program.
"There is an proposed alternative that the matron can go through without cutting them," says Shapira.
"The matron travels on an existing road, no new embankments for it and therefore it is possible to regulate the line without felling or with minimal felling."
Shapiro added that the NTA (Urban Transportation) worked with an agronomist and claim to have maintained most of the trees that they can, "but Bustan Hagalil are not attentive and actually came to announce what they do without public participation," he adds.
On the part of the mayor of Acre Shimon Lankri said
: "The Matron's project is invaluable, and will serve as an alternative for private car owners through traffic - free mass transit systems, where they will enjoy a comfortable, fast and safe ride."

Acre Municipality: "The project is the responsibility of Netivei Israel"
The Acre Municipality responded:
"The matron's plan is a national project that operates under approved plans and is a condition for the population of the new neighborhoods in northern Hakerem in Acre. The project is the sole responsibility of Netivei Israel and their response to the temporary order will be given in court."
Netivei Israel stated:
"We are sorry for the publication of a PR article that gives a stage to a body that allegedly and knowingly lied to the Magistrate's Court in Haifa and thus causes it to be disgraced.
In fact, the company did not enter into any work in the area in question, contrary to what was alleged in court. "
